FeCrAl Cr21Al4/FCHW 2 High-Temperature Heating Element Wire Durable & Energy-Efficient

FeCrAl Cr21Al4/FCHW-2 High-Temperature Resistance Alloy Wire – Durable Heating Element for Industrial & Lab Applications

Material Overview:

• Alloy Type: FeCrAl (Iron-Chromium-Aluminum) alloy, standardized as Cr21Al4 or FCHW-2.
• Chemical Composition:
  • Chromium (Cr): 21%
  • Aluminum (Al): 4%
  • Iron (Fe): Balance (with trace impurities ≤0.15% C, ≤1.0% Mn, ≤1.0% Si).
• Standards Compliance:
  • DIN 17470 (Germany)
  • ASTM A580 (USA)
  • ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing.

Key Features & Performance:

1. High-Temperature Resistance:
   • Operates continuously up to 1250°C (2282°F).
   • Short-term peak temperatures up to 1350°C without structural degradation.
2. Oxidation & Corrosion Resistance:
   • Forms a stable Al2O3 + Cr2O3 oxide layer at high temperatures, preventing rust and chemical attack in oxidizing environments (e.g., air, water vapor, sulfur-rich gases).
3. Electrical Resistivity:
   • 1.50 μΩ·m at 20°C, ensuring efficient heat generation with minimal energy loss.
4. Low Thermal Drift:
   • Maintains ±1.5% resistance stability from 20°C to 1100°C, ideal for precision heating systems.
5. Mechanical Strength:
   • Tensile Strength: ≥600 MPa
   • Elongation: ≥18% (ASTM E8 tested)

Applications:

• Industrial Heating Systems:
  • Electric furnaces for metal heat treatment, glass melting, and ceramic sintering.
  • Industrial ovens for coating, drying, and curing processes.
• Laboratory Equipment:
  • High-temperature test chambers, calibration furnaces, and sample heating devices.
• Specialized Use Cases:
  • Automotive Exhaust Systems: Preheating catalysts in emission control units.
  • 3D Printer Beds: Custom high-temperature heating elements for industrial-grade printers.
  • Semiconductor Manufacturing: Annealing and wafer heating in controlled environments.
